One of the most pathetic interview I have ever had. The interview process was normal. First online assessment, then a phone interview and finally an onsite interview. The first two rounds were easy. Based on DFS and BFS only. But after completion of the second round, I got feedback that my phone interview went well and I was called for an on-site interview. I was asked to give my details to make arrangements for the interview but after that, I didn't get any email. Nearly after 20 days, I got an email from a different HR that I was scheduled a virtual onsite interview. and after a few days, I got another mail that they are deciding to go with another candidate without any explanation. I have given many interviews but this was one of the weirdest and pathetic interview I have ever done.

Question 1
Question regarding how the Linkedin connection algorithm works.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Calgary, AB) in Jun 2026
Interview
Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.

Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
